How a landlord roof survey works in Roehampton
Landlords frequently book us when buying a property to rent out, or after a tenant reports a leak. Others want a regular survey for a rolling maintenance plan. The report is laid out the same way whatever the reason with photographs and recommendations. We survey on weekdays and at weekends which can help when arranging access with residents. If you’ve noticed ponding or splits on flat roofs and gutters overflowing onto walls, we can find out what’s behind it, whatever the roof.
Victorian and Edwardian terraces are found right across London, frequently with slate roofs, chimney stacks shared with neighbours and gutters hidden behind parapets. Slates can last a century or more, but the nails holding them corrode, and slates slip. Homes in Roehampton are no exception. Lead flashings and shared chimney stacks on these houses need a close look too.
The report is yours to share with whoever needs it: your solicitor, the seller, your insurer, a roofer or the building’s managing agent, whichever applies.

What this survey cannot tell you
Before you book, it’s worth knowing what a survey won’t do:
- Asbestos testing of roof sheets or soffits
- A full building survey of every part of the property
- Who pays under the lease (that’s a legal question)
If you’re not sure which survey you need, call 07833 053749 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer. What our survey covers.

Prices for landlord roof surveys in Roehampton
Survey packages start from £150, including VAT. The price for your roof depends on:
- Height and safe access
- Roof area
- Commercial roofs and larger buildings
- The use of thermal imaging or a drone
Price depends partly on the package: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 or Premium from £400, all including VAT. Size, height and access can affect the price too.
What we need to know
To price your survey accurately, we will ask about:
- The property’s address and postcode
- The type of building and roof, such as pitched or flat
- Photos of the roof, taken safely from the ground or a window
- Where water is showing inside, if it is
Prices start from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on the roof’s size, access and the package, so call 07833 053749 or send us an email with the details.
How it works
The visit typically starts outside and finishes in the loft: outside views come first, then the loft space if there’s safe access. All told, expect roughly 1–2 hours at a typical home, with bigger or more complicated roofs taking longer. London terraces rarely offer a view of the whole roof from one spot, so a visit in Roehampton moves between viewpoints: the pavement, upstairs windows, the loft and any safe spot at the back. Shared stairs or a basement flat? Let us know who holds the keys.
- First, we confirm the scope and the purpose of the report.
- Access to flats and the loft space is arranged by you or your agent.
- Each roof is looked at from safe vantage points and inside where possible.
- Every defect is photographed and its urgency noted where relevant.
- A written condition report follows to help you plan.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking before the day
- Find any records of previous roof work
- Jot down any questions you want answered
Book a survey
Buyers should book once an offer has been accepted, so there’s time to use the report before exchange. Otherwise, simply call 07833 053749 or drop us an email whenever suits you.

Signs you need a landlord roof survey in Roehampton
Reports of leaks or damp from tenants often lead to a survey. We check whether the roof or rainwater system is the likely cause from what’s visible.
A survey can pick up problems such as:
- Ponding or splits on flat roofs
- Worn ridges, hips and verges
- Cracked or leaning shared chimneys
- Leaking joints at party walls
For businesses in and around places like Putney Exchange, a dated report on the roof is useful for planning and for any lease discussions.
Before booking anyone
- How soon the report will arrive
- What the report includes, and whether it has photos
- How long they’ve been surveying roofs
- How they’ll see the roof: from ground level, the loft, the roof or by drone
Landlord roof surveys in Roehampton: local notes
Fulham Palace, about 1.3 miles north-east, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Roehampton. If you own one of the older houses, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material. Outer London has lots of Victorian and Edwardian terraces with slate roofs, but also a great many interwar semis, often with hipped roofs in clay or concrete tiles. Bay roofs, hip ridges and dormers from later loft conversions are the details that set these houses apart. Knowing the covering helps explain which parts of a roof are likely to need work first.
If you look after a building such as Granard Primary School, large buildings have long gutter runs and big roofs that need checking like any other. Trees in and around Putney Heath shed leaves that can end up in nearby gutters, and blocked gutters overflow and soak walls.
Roehampton is about 2 miles south-west of Fulham, in Greater London. We survey roofs in Roehampton across London and South East England. Our area takes in places right across Greater London, from the larger towns to small villages. There is also a page for London.

Roehampton questions
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Roehampton?
Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the local council can tell you about conservation areas. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
Can a landlord with a rental near Barnes station book a roof survey?
Yes, landlords and agents book with us as well as owners. You can ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address and a few details, including who will give access on the day.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes. Shared roofs just need a little more planning, with the building owner or managing agent. Let us know about it as you book and we’ll explain what’s needed.
Will you walk on the roof?
Only when it is safe. Safe viewpoints, the roof space and a drone where it applies cover most of what’s needed, and the report notes anything we couldn’t see.
Do you survey roofs shared between flats?
Yes, shared roofs are a common request. We can only inspect neighbouring parts from where we’re allowed to be, and the report says so.
How long is the visit?
It typically takes between one and two hours for a house, and longer for a block or a building with several roofs. We’ll confirm the timing when you book.
What insurance do you have?
Our surveys are covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance. If you need details for a managing agent or a building owner, just ask.
What we look for on each type of roof
Roof spaces and lofts
